In future, the so called ”sensing enterprise”, as part of the Future Internet, will play a crucial role in the success or the failure of an enterprise. We present our vision of an enterprise interacting with the physical world based on a retail scenario. One of the main challenges is the interoperability not only between the enterprise IT systems themselves, but also between these systems and t...

We develop a novel visual approach to evaluating an Internet pricing scheme using a 3Dmetric model, which encompasses the dimensions of technical complexity, economic efficiency and social impact. We review the history of Internet pricing research over the last decade, summarizing the key features of the most significant models, and analyzing and evaluating them using our 3D model. Based on the...

Two years ago a survey of the wireless world research forum predicted that in the year 2017 there will be seven trillion wireless devices for seven billion humans which is equivalent to 1000 devices per human being on the average. The future will show if this incredible number will be reached but for sure we will see an increasing number of wireless devices forming the Internet of the future. T...

With the evolution of the Internet from a controlled research network to a worldwide social and economic platform, the initial assumptions regarding stakeholder cooperative behavior are no longer valid. Conflicts have emerged in situations where there are opposing interests. Previous work in the literature has termed these conflicts tussles. This article presents the research of the SESERV proj...

Im Rahmen des Projektes SmartAgriFood, eines EU-Projektes im „Future Internet Public Private Partnership“-Programm, wurde eine Übersicht zu Standards für den Datenaustausch in der Landwirtschaft und der Lebensmittelkette zusammengestellt. Es wurden 35 Standards oder Gruppen von Standards hinsichtlich Anwendungsbereichen und Technologien untersucht und abschließend Empfehlungen zu Nutzung, Entwi...

Having recognized the Internet functional and architectural properties as well as its design principles the query becomes whether the Future Internet shall be built between the "evolutionary approach" and the "clean slate approach". Some assumption that it is not capable to resolve the challenges facing today's Internet without rethinking the basic assumptions and desig...

The Internet is one of the most successful modern technologies; we cannot imagine what our lives would be without the Internet. Despite the huge success of the Internet, many problems such as shortage of IP addresses, insufficient security and performance have emerged because of the increasing worldwide Internet population. Furthermore, the technologies developed to incrementally solve the abov...

In recent years, many research efforts have focused on building experimentation platforms where structural changes to future Internet can be implemented and tested. GENI, instantiated by its prototype implementations, e.g. ProtoGENI, is a notable example of such systems. In this document, we present the PrimoGENI approach; which aims to augment the GENI suite of interoperable infrastructure to ...
